It’s said that Super Bowl Sunday is a snapshot of America. If that’s the case, America is a weird, vapid, uninteresting place. Joel and Corey Hall review the game, the commercials and the halftime show – all three elements were equally dull! Then guys also get a call from comedian Sal Demilio to discuss the betting implications of a low-scoring game and how his dream job is, still, to open for Frank Sinatra. Also, Eddie Murphy made so much homophobic comedy in his career Joel can’t keep it straight. Hear the awful examples of what he was up to and why, it seems, no one is outraged today. Plus, True Detective is good and Corey doesn’t care, why comedians hate FuckJerry, the Starbucks CEO runs for president, and Liam Neeson has a particular set of possibly racist skills.

Another Super Bowl has come and gone, and while neither Joel nor Corey Hall really cared who won, the game was entertaining and what happened afterwards in Philadelphia was insane. The fans partied, rioted and acted exactly as you would have expected considering Philly’s reputation. Hear the undoubtedly incomplete list of crazy shit the fans did in celebration the team’s victory on this show. The guys also talk about the lukewarm halftime show, the commercials, (including a new Star Wars trailer), what the guys ate during the game, and how TV’s biggest goat on Sunday will now be the head coach of the Detroit Lions. Also, Quentin Tarantino is starting to look really bad in regards to how he treated Uma Thurman, Molly’s Game gets reviewed, more on The Shape of Water, Columbus and The Florida Project, Joel sees some Oscar-worthy, but surprising documentaries, and how to learn everything you ever wanted to know about Star Wars toys. Plus, Mark E. Smith of The Fall has died and Joel has a tribute to great music made a legendarily cantankerous asshole.

The folks at Gawker should be loving Joel Radio right about now. At least the one asshole over there who challenged Jerry Seinfeld about diversity in comedy, as Joel Radio is proud to bring you two female comedians on one big show. Joel and Corey along with guests Lauren Uchalik and Samantha Rager discuss why Seinfeld is right about comedy not necessarily needing diversity and why being funny is (usually) enough. You’ll also hear the girls’ ridiculous stories about being a woman in comedy, including free motel rooms for open mike spots, late night Scrabble invites from pervs and in-boxes overflowing with poetry from strangers. The guys also share the worst story they’ve ever heard about a horn-dog comic that involves a long road trip and one bed for the headliner and opening, female, performer. Also, this year’s Super Bowl was the worst ever, Jay Leno is leaving but things are gonna get worse (says Joel), and is the Jeopardy! champ a fink or a genius, the panel debates. Plus, superfan Cam sends “disgusting” and “weird” foreign candy bars to the panel that end up being neither disgusting or weird and Joel makes a big announcement about a fun future project for Joel Radio.

In what has become the Super Bowl of the Joel Radio podcast, Joel and Corey pick the the 2012 Assholes of the Year. The AOTY is not merely an award for doing something bad – it an award for excellence hypocrisy, deception, duplicity, meanness and a failing to do what is right. In some cases, these folks are respected and revered by the public, but Joel and Corey lift the veil of phoniness to let you see the real jerk-offs inside. There’s some real doozeys this year too, including shady CEOs, insidious political hacks, sinister celebrities and other people we can all agree really suck. Then there’s those you might think are alright, but they’re not! Some of the world’s biggest do-gooders are just as phony and wicked as the rest of the dickheads on this list, so be prepared to be outraged – or you just might agree! Either way, this is a 2+ hour tour-de-force podcast filled with the funniest, most vitriolic humor you’ve ever heard. It’s sure to get you in the Holiday spirit – especially if you hate the holidays.

It’s the big Joel Radio post-Super Bowl extravaganza, which is made slightly less super by the game being not so great (until the finish), the commercials sucking, and Madonna making the terrorists hate us even more. Still, Joel and Corey have you covered for discussion of Bud Light Platinum, the joy of punting, M.I.A. is an asshole and why Godaddy can’t seemingly find a hot chick for the commercial. Find out if the guys endorse Met Life’s cartoon character sizing, discuss the bad example Doritos sets (for rednecks), and get the whole history of half-time shows from the truly awful to the pretty good to the pretty bad. Plus, Joel is on a “Who kick” so listen for what was The Who’s greatest performance ever, and while the both love The Beatles, how Corey was more of a Beach Boys guy. Also, Trump becomes Captain Obvious by endorsing Romney, The Rock’s movie career dissected, Joel’s embarrassing commercial opportunity, and Ray Stevens – coming to a jerkwater berg near you.

Every few years Hollywood decides 3-D is poised for a comeback, and touts a “new, better” version of the technology, which has been seen by most as a gimmick. After viewing this years Super Bowl commercials, and a 3-D episode of Chuck on NBC, Corey and Joel are here to say that the technology is back and as bad as ever. Not that there hasn’t been fun 3-D stuff lately (like Beowulf), but from the “where to get the glasses” snafu to an inability to properly ogle the hot blonde from Chuck with the glasses on, this experience was pretty painful. Just as painful were the results of one hosts Super Bowl Bets. While not a complete blowout, one host is swearing off the betting line in the future and you’ll hear why. Also, the full Super Sunday commercial rundown, someone hates Springsteen, Nils sings Mickey Avalon and Superman Returns still sucks. Right click here to download – 80 minutes, 38 megs

Radio programmers take note – if you’re looking for cheap talent, try The Corey and Joel Radio Show. While the other half drives a hard bargain, Joel will gladly render his comedic services on the cheap. And with the recent rash of radio talent cuts and firings, why not hire the guys who’ve been giving it away for almost four years? In addition to discussing the sorry state of commercial radio, the guys do their annual Super Bowl betting. There’s a total of $20 up for grabs as one host likes Pittsburgh and the other Arizona, while neither likes Jesus as much as Kurt Warner. Also, the Obamas get kinky, Jessica Simpson gets fat, Playboy magazine sucks, and Corey’s embarrassing yet lucrative local TV past. Right click here to download – 80 minutes, 38 megs

What to do? It was a very good hour+ of show and a retarded, hard-headed obnoxious, political debate at the end. So yeah, follow the title and turn it off, you won’t miss much. Actually there’s no politcal talk at all in the beginning, as the guys review the Super Bowl. And the Super Bowl commercials and why can’t Carlos Mencia just die? But Joel really loved the Puppy Bowl. Even cold-hearted Corey warms to it and found a favorite pup. But what of the other counter programming? Seal on Ice?!? You gotta be kidding. Also, dead, dumb Heath Ledger, French candy reviewed, and sixth-graders perform M*A*S*H. The longest, single show ever, and hardly the best. Right click here to download – 96 minutes, 45 megs

Comedian and longtime pal, Sal Demilio sits in to break down the Super Bowl, late-night TV, and psycho-bitch astronauts. First, find out who won the big Super Bowl bets, and why Sal had a tough day of wagering. We then dissect the fued between George Lopez and Jay Leno. Why does George consider Jay a back-stabber and does George’s endorsement of Craig Ferguson weaken his argument? Hear George’s own words skewer the big-chinned comic. Also, how crazy is that astronaut bitch and what would a guy need on a 900-mile drive? And what’s it like to “shoot” in space?. Plus, the world’s ugliest comedy club waitresses, Faygo wrestling, jobs that get you laid, and Norbit is the worst movie ever. Right click here to download – 78 minutes, 36 megs
